PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): The current year will be a tough fighting season in Afghanistan, US Defence Secretary Ash Carter has warned, hinting at a long military presence in the country.
He had shared his concerns about 2016 being a tough fighting season with President Ashraf Ghani last week, the defense secretary told a Pentagon media briefing.
“He (Ghani) fully understands that, as does the CEO, (Abdullah). Now, it’s going to be tough, there’s no question about it … we’re expecting a tough fighting season ahead,” Carter . . .
